HARITHA (meaning GREEN) is a spice and coconut garden of 2.5 hectares situated on a hilly area of land facing paddy fields and a small hillock. Established in 1962 as a rubber and coconut garden, sustainable farming techniques were introduced in 1990 and along the line use of pesticides and weed killers was stopped and the rubber trees were removed and sustainable farming while maintaining the bio-diversity.
The midlands of Kerala are the place where spices, food and fruits were naturally grown in homestead forest gardens that were eventually lost to rubber plantations. Spices were moved up to the hills where the forests were cut and plantations were established, damaging the ecosystems in a significant way (monoculture plantations e.g. tea, coffee, pepper and rubber). Haritha Farms takes a traveller back to the erstwhile Kerala Midlands.
Haritha Farms now is a large plantation retreat that gives you an Kerala experience like no other. It also specialises in courses that teach preparation of Kerala Cuisine and conducts these while enjoying the stay alongwith other activities.
